10 Great Quotes on the Power of Goals

The ability to set and execute your goals can transform your life.

At the end of the year, it is customary for you to start thinking about what you want to accomplish in the upcoming year. I am a firm believer in the power of goals to move your life forward. For most of us, since we were children, we were indoctrinated in the habit of making New Year’s resolutions. The problem with resolutions is that they don’t stick. Why? Because those resolutions are not connected enough with who you are and where you really want to go. To make progress in the New Year, you have to become proficient in the setting and executing your goals. To this end, I am going to share with you, 10 Great Quotes about the Power of Goals.

1. Vision is Everything

“If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.” –Lawrence J. Peter

Vision is all about destination. You have got to know the destination to create a proper plan to get there. Highly successful persons make a decision about where they are going.

2. Dream incredibly big

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” –Les Brown

There is a situation that happens when we get older- we stop dreaming. We are schooled and taught to be realistic- to stick within our reasonable limitations. Nothing great is created from playing safe. Get out of your comfort zone! By dreaming big and shooting for the moon, you are starting your growth journey.

3. True success is found in progress

“A goal is not always meant to be reached; it often serves simply as something to aim at.” –Bruce Lee

We have been taught that high achievers check things off their list and this is true. But does it mean that everything gets checked off on time, every time? No! Delays, setbacks, and emergencies happen. The key, however, is to have the targets set so that even if attaining it is delayed, you still know which way to go.

4. Goals give you hope

“If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.” —Andrew Carnegie

Sometimes when you find yourself not having things to look forward to, it could be an indication that you need to find the right things to look forward to. Don’t just set goals for the sake of setting goals. Set goals for the things that you are passionate about and that motivate you.

5. Be Persistent

“Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don’t quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don’t quit until you reach it. Never quit.” –Bear Bryant

Sometimes it takes longer than you anticipated but it doesn’t mean that your goals were mismatched. Be persistent and keep your eyes on the prize.

6. Goals help you to find your greatness

“Goals. There’s no telling what you can do when you get inspired by them. There’s no telling what you can do when you believe in them. And there’s no telling what will happen when you act upon them.” —Jim Rohn

You may be inspired by the stories of others, but you also must remember that there is greatness in yours as well. If you can find the inner courage to believe in your internal greatness, then set goals to that will allow you to explore and uncover that greatness.

7. Setting Goals is half of the journey

“A goal properly set is halfway reached.” —Zig Ziglar

Half of the journey towards success is found in your ability to set goals that matter to you, not the goals that look good for everyone else. Choose your ideal life as the benchmark for your goal setting.

8. Choice is the greatest goal achieving tool

“Every day is full of choices. Make a choice that leads to success” – Dana Hayes-Burke

The moment you make a choice to act on that goal, half of the challenge is overcome. All you need to do is make other choices to follow through with that action.

9. It’s never too late.

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” –C.S. Lewis

Once there is life there is hope. It doesn’t matter if you have taken what seems like forever to get to this point – it’s not to late to set a new goal or target for your life.

10. Take action

“Your habits make the vision happen!”- Dana Hayes-Burke

Success is built on intentional, focused habits. All of the goal-setting in the world won’t materialize your vision if you don’t take action. Be committed to taking action steps that build the life you want.
